The region is facing an unprecedented food crisis: a growing number of people are struggling with severe or moderate food insecurity in Central America, more than the average for Latin America and the Caribbean and, in some cases, over 10% of the population.
The severe drought is over and more favorable conditions for production are expected in different territories of South America, points out a climate report prepared by PROCISUR for ministers of the Southern Agricultural Council (CAS).
In many regions –the document points out– there only started to be a significant amount of rainfall in January and February, along with more normal levels of water availability in the soil and in the different basins and natural reservoirs after the drought.
